Another unsung hero gets well deserved recognition

Dawn Hallybone of Oaklands primary gets a well deserved bit of praise in this interesting article from Merlin John. http://www.agent4change.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=327:games-consoles-for-learning-reaching-critical-mass&catid=63:innovation&Itemid=433

It also cites the influence of Derek Robertson one of my previous unsung heroes. Nice piece and nice comments from our friends at Ofsted "Progress is good. In mathematics, progress is increasing as a result of actions taken by the school to bring about improvement, for example through innovative use of hand-held consoles."

what made my heart leap was this phrase encouraging young people (maybe the real experts). Please note we are also keen to include young people at the event and registered delegates are welcome to bring a student 16 years or younger with them. School parties are also welcome by arrangement. Please contact us here.

Looking forward to it Ive also added link to the conference website on my blogroll on the left.
